    I heard that the Paccar motor itself is a good motor, it's just all the after treatment crap that is on it is causing the problems as well as all the other motors. I heard a show about oil analysis and I guess the Detroit and Paccar have the best wear numbers out there.

    Happy trucking. (Mega trucking that is lol!!!!)
    Sincerely
    The troll!

    No worries dude...a definition of "troll" is the guy who knows, just KNOWS, that his opinion or point of view invalidates all others and anyone who doesn't do what he says must be a complete imbecile.

    A guy who yanks your chain for the fun of it is a definition of "a guy."

    Anyway, like I said, you were right about the "limited experience" thing--I wasn't being sarcastic about not really being qualified to give advice on that motor. Ask me about a FIAT or old school Nissan sports car, however....

    No offense taken brother, dissent and "chain-yanking" are two things that are very different from trolling.

    Have a beer <pops the cap off a bottle of Guinness>

    Frackin' bunk heater gave out and it's too cold to sleep but too warm to idle. I'm running it as long as it will run. Three days to the yard....

    My bunk heater never seems to keep truck warm. It runs and works but just does not seem to do it job.

    Is it electric or diesel fired? I had one that was electric once, that would barely keep me warm if I preheated the bunk, closed the mid cab curtain, and lowered the top bunk. And slept under a comforter. With a big dog snuggled up to me.

    All the diesel fired heaters I've had would chase you out of the truck, overheated (when they're working).
     
    Dominick253 Thanks this.

    I have that same motor in my Kenworth, and yes the air compressor runs more than usual, I think it's just the size and capacity of the compressor. My paccar doesn't use any coolant so I guess I'm lucky there

    I'm running a paccar engine right now also and I noticed the engine brake is non existent. Barely works. I'm not a fan of them.
